Gratitude the Great

Pamelyn Rocco · 2021
77/100
👍 Worth It

A warm, culturally inclusive picture book that turns a Brazilian bracelet tradition into a contagious act of community gratitude — and backs it up with a practical afterword parents can actually use. The Midwest Book Review recognition and Simon and Schuster distribution signal real editorial care behind it. A solid classroom and family read for ages four through seven.
